Irish Dark Brown gelding 9 years 15.1hh.

We bought Striker to go into a riding school of which we didn’t go ahead with. Since being with us he has built the confidence of several riders after they lost it all with other rather sharp horses.

Striker is an honest and kind horse and he would be great as a 2nd horse particularly for a rider looking to do a bit of everything. He will take you from poles on the ground to jumping round courses, or if you prefer to move into X-Country without the fear of a horse taking off and being too strong- he’s great for that too.

He has been to X-Country, fun rides and clinics. He enjoys hacking in open spaces across farmland. He is bomb proof in traffic too. Hacked at least once a week on roads. He is competing at home round 70/80cm and will easily jump 90cm. He will also drop down to trotting happily over cross poles.

Striker is a standard bred but has a good trot and canter. His transitions have improved a lot. He is not a kick a long but is sane and you will learn to ride very well with him and he is never sharp or silly.

He will jump anything at X-Country whether its brushes, barrels- anything! Fillers and water trays do not phase him and he is not a spooky horse. He is great through water and over ditches. He will go in an outline in all three paces. He can perform a nice dressage test.

He isn't the most confident pony in the stable and can be shy until he gets to know you. He loves a fuss.

Super easy to load, travel, bath, groom and clip, easy for dental and vet. We hold him for the farrier or give him a haynet as he is a fidget.

Turned out individually, he enjoys being out but easily lives in too.

Striker makes people feel very comfortable when hacking across open farmland or on the road. He babysits the young sharp horses too. It’s not easy to find confidence building horses and we will be honestly sad to see him go. Please feel free to call me to discuss. It’s important to us that he goes to the right home as he’s been simply brilliant.
